The Great Irish Open is back! Both seasoned and beginner golfers are welcome to join us for a day of fun, contests, an all-day buffet, beverage samplings, prizes, and more at the beautiful Ironwood Golf Course in Sussex, Wisconsin.

The Ward Irish Music Archives in Milwaukee, WI, is now the largest collection of Irish and Irish American music in North America. Established in 1992, the archives consist of more than 50,000 pieces, including Irish recordings, paper ephemera such as postcards, sheet music and songbooks, instruments, photos, concert memorabilia, 78s, 45s, LPs, and music recorded on wax cylinders. Documenting the musical community of Irish America is an important endeavor; the pieces in the Ward Irish Music Archives, as well as events, special exhibits, CD projects, and our online digital collection, ensure this important part of Irish American history is preserved and accessible to collectors, enthusiasts, students, and lovers of music in any form.
